Nissan = Bank Account Rapists

Alright, so I get the call from the service center at Nissan about my car.

Now keep in mind I know for a fact that the TIE ROD and FLCA needed to be replaced.

This is what "Jeff" told me:

Control Arm
Knuckle (Spindle & Hub)
Strut


According to him those three things will cost me around $1600.

He said that the strut alone will cost $430.

I was like, DUDE, I can get a set of 4 AGXs for less than that.

Then he tells me labor will be about $430 for everything.

And the alignment at the end will be $60.

If you didn't notice, he didn't even mention the tie rod at all, which is bent at about a 30-35 degree angle much like the control arm.

I'm just venting haha.

If anyone knows where I can get Nissan OE parts please LMK because I know they are trying to highball the **** out of me.

I don't feel like buying used.

I know a guy who owns a dealer in DE that can get OE Nissan parts for cheap.
